India cancer survivor brings joy to destitute children
Mark Rego is a popular pub quiz master in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.
Glass in hand - and indeed sometimes an entire bottle - he is the life of the party, dancing and joking with patrons as he takes them through his questions.
But he is more than an energetic quiz master.
Mr Rego was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago, an incident that, according to him, changed his entire outlook on life.
"I made a bargain with God," he told the BBC.
Wanting to make a difference in people's lives, he now helps raise funds for a number of charities that work with underprivileged children, orphans and cancer patients.
This article caught my eye due to its headline 'India cancer survivor brings joy to destitute children' partly for the fact that my dad has cancer and partly for the fact that it involves less fortunate children. the story is very touching on how one man can change so many lives through entertainment. The story tells us that near enough everything is possible.
